The latest test for sovereignty, which challenged Israel, was the call for rage, rioting, murdering and general uprising issued by Fatah and the Palestinian Authority when they rebroadcast Mahmoud Abbas and his call for assaulting the Temple Mount in 2014, which led to two weeks of complete chaos and riotous behavior by uncounted Palestinian youths and young adults (see below video 1). This time it led to rioting around the outside of the Temple Mount carrying the theme that Israel had completely blocked off the Temple Mount from Muslim and was destroying their ability to pray at their sacred al-Aqsa Mosque, for the record that is not the one with the golden dome, that is the Dome of the Rock and is not an actual mosque. The reason that these Islamic religious individuals seeking only to cleanse their souls with prayer to Allah were unable to reach the Temple Mount was due to Israel placing metal detectors at the entrances to detect weapons such as knives and firearms. Apparently, all of these saintly individuals must have steel rods or plates within their bodies that were required to repair damage they received during other periods of rage or rioting otherwise metal detectors would only prevent their bringing weapons onto this sacred Islamic site. Why would Israel, out of the blue, if you believe the Arab Palestinians, all of a sudden add metal detectors and additional security cameras to the entrances and particular spots of interest, such as blind spots and alcoves, onto the Temple Mount? Well, it was in response to the murdering of two police and the wounding of a third by three Arab Palestinian terrorists using weapons smuggled in a satchel onto the Temple Mount by a fourth terrorist. The entire operation was broken down by Israeli security services and the videos with the terrorists circled and a breakdown of their actions on videos found on YouTube (see them below videos 2 & 3). Also paying the ultimate price for the violence were three Arab Palestinians, two died when shots were fired at Israeli personnel who responded silencing the fire resulting in two deaths and some small amount of wounded, and a third died when his Molotov cocktail exploded prematurely in his hands completely immolating him. Three Israelis from a family who were murdered killing Yosef Salomon age 70, his daughter Chaya Salomon age 46, and son Elad Salomon age 36 (pictured above) and placed his wife Tova Salomon age 68 in Shaare Zedek Medical Center for emergency surgery saving her life. Elad’s wife managed to herd the grandchildren into a bedroom, lock the door, called police and screamed that they were being attacked. Responding to the screams, an off duty IDF soldier managed to shoot and wound the terrorist through a window of the house. The terrorist, Omar al-Abed age 19, was subdued and was reported to have jumped up and attempted to attack the medical respondents as they worked to try to save the victims and was promptly subdued once again. He was taken for treatment and has been released to security police for arraignment. Simply stated, Israel acted in a sane and normative fashion just as any free, democratic nation would act, for an example take a domestic flight and we bet you will walk through some form of weapons detection.

How did the Arab world respond to the Israeli safety measures on their third holiest place behind Mecca and Medina, India, Pakistan, Turkey, United States and the world? According to Jerusalem Post “In Mecca there are more than 5,000 CCTV cameras and over 100,000 people employed to provide security during the annual Hajj.” We are sure that this is not the only place or time when there are security precautions taken in Mecca, Medina or anywhere around the globe by Muslims in Islamic nations and outside the Islamic world. The only nation where there must be no such protection of worshipers is in Israel and largely only at the Temple Mount where it becomes a world effort and concern. We might pretend to wonder why but the answer was given in the form of two Druze Israelis whose only crime was enlisting as Security Police and guard one of the entrances to the Temple Mount. This cold blooded murder was not the first time that weapons have been used from the Temple Mount to commit terrorism attacks throughout Israel. The murders a few months back theorized that the weapons used may have been smuggled into Israel via the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount is the main method by which the terrorists can readily exploit the close proximity of shops and homes which abut the Temple Mount (see image below) to smuggle weapons into Israel. Once the weapons have been brought into East Jerusalem, the entrances onto the Temple Mount are readily available and without metal detectors, they can be smuggled in easily as shown in the videos above. This was the purpose for the detectors but anything that would impede the Arab Palestinians’ ability to murder Israelis cannot be suffered and thus the demonstrations and protests from across the Arab world and had it gone longer likely Europe and the United Nations.

The Times of Israel reports that “Egypt, France and Sweden called for the Security Council discussion following clashes over the weekend that left five Palestinians dead and saw a brutal terror attack, in which a Palestinian killed three family members at a Shabbat meal.” Trust that they included the terror attack likely because of the insistence of Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon along with American Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley if that was truly even included in the reasons. The demonstrations are about something only related to the metal detectors because it impedes the Arab Palestinians ability to smuggle weapons into Israel and around the Temple Mount vicinity with which to murder Jews, euphemistically referred to as Israelis. The truth that their desire is not to murder Christians, Druze, Baha’I, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists, Shinto or any of the other thousands of religions and prefer Jewish targets over all else by listening to their incitement and the quotes of their youth who repeat the incitement word-for-word as their indoctrination and its methods permeate every sphere of their young lives turning innocents into murdering machines, or at least that is the hope of their leaders (see videos below). Their incitement can be looked up on your own, as they are proud of much of this as it truly portrays their society as the shining example of a perfect Islamic world.

They teach their youth that there can be only one faith, Islam. They are given the order in which non-Muslims are to be eliminated. They list Christians and idolaters; which includes religions such as Buddhism, Hindus and most of the other Eastern religions; and the atheists but then they list the two exceptions who are the ones who are to be ultimately hated and destroyed first and foremost, the Jews followed by the Apostates, those who left Islam for a different or for no religion. The indoctrination begins as soon as the youth understand speech even before they themselves are able to speak. Often the first words some youth speak are phrases from incitements they have been constantly exposed to and their lives inundated by hate and glorifying the ending of one’s life as a martyr. On top of all this is the payments made to the family of martyrs and terrorists. The majority of the Arab Palestinian economic model is based upon these payments to the families of those terrorists who have been taken alive and convicted to prison in Israel or to the families of those who have fallen while committing acts of terror.

These are the payments, which Mahmoud Abbas promised President Trump he would work to terminate, something he actually can simply order and it would be so, until he was assassinated and replaced. Abbas then told the United States Peace Envoy Jarred Kushner and his party that in no way would these precious payments, which are honorable and necessary for the Palestinian People and their entire existence being based upon these remunerations. He simple has told them that the entire Palestinian economy is based on blood money payments and their education consists slowly of indoctrination and incitement towards the elimination of the Jewish State and death of the Jews. It is nice that Abbas finally told the truth for a change, the problem is the United States Peace Envoy disregarded the words spoken by Abbas and continued as if they were informed that when Abbas claims he will continue the payments for terror and the murder of Jews that he means he is ready to make peace if only the United States would pressure Israel to make concessions which would enable further terrorist attacks and the surrender of additional lands as Abbas is still working to destroy Israel in stages.

Despite this reality, when the Jordanians and Egyptians demanded that the metal detectors be removed, Israel simply buckled to their demands in total. Adding to the levels of tension came, according to ABC report on Sunday, “Two Jordanians were killed and an Israeli was wounded by gunfire Sunday in a residential building at the Israeli embassy compound in Jordan’s capital, the kingdom’s Public Security Directorate said. Israeli media reported Monday that an Israeli security guard opened fire after a Jordanian worker attacked him with a screwdriver. The worker and the Jordanian owner of the building were wounded and later died, the reports said.” This led to Jordan demanding that Israel turn over the Embassy guard who was involved in the shooting and masses of Jordanians surrounded the Israeli compound. Israel evacuated the embassy leaving the complex empty fearing any escalation. Jordan, along with Egypt and countless others from every direction registered their discontent, as apparently protecting Israeli lives is criminal. Jordan demanded that all video cameras be removed including those which were already on the Temple Mount. The Israeli Security Cabinet, composed of the most trusted “yes men” the Prime Minister could collect, immediately folded and removed all security or observation equipment as demanded by Jordan. The Jordanian Waqf now stands as the supreme possessor of the Temple Mount. Israel ought to move the Jordanian Embassy onto the Temple Mount as it apparently is now Jordanian sacredly owned ground. One must wonder if Israelis will be demanded to have a Jordanian Visa to go up on the Temple Mount in the future.

This immediate folding to pressure from the Arab and Palestinian worlds is regrettable and is supremely and seriously misguided. Where will this cowardice end, what will the Israeli surrender at the first provocation take Israel as a nation. Can Israel even believe that anything is sacred when challenged by Jordan, Egypt, Arab Palestinians and who knows whom else. What happens now if Jordan, Egypt, the Arab League, the European Union, the United Nations and UNESCO decide that all of the contested areas of Judea and Samaria as well as half of Jerusalem are now to be given to the Arab Palestinians as the initial promise by Israel to do whatever is demanded to make the Arab world less aggrieved. What after that, perhaps demands for Israel to surrender the Negev so that Gaza and Palestine can be connected. Perhaps after that there will be the demand that the Arabs need agricultural lands and the Galilee appears to be the perfect land for such a venture. Will this end up with Israel defined as the Tel Aviv greater metropolitan area? And then what? Please consider any next step with great care as running from any confrontation when dealing with cowardly bullies as they will continue to press and demand with the backing of the world and at some point Israel is going to have to take a stand and make that stand final. The more land that we can rightfully claim when we make that stand, the better it will be and the better will be the result.

We would like to make a suggestion that we know will find many who will claim it is undoable, but hear it out at least. The first and most vital step is to take all the Arab Palestinians starting with Mahmoud Abbas and continue through all which are known enemies of Israel and responsible for the indoctrination and incitement and expel them as the terrorists they are. Then inform the remaining Arab population that they will be permitted an election for their own communities that will be overseen by the Israelis and the United Nations to assure fair and balanced election procedures. There will also be one question which every remaining Arab will be required to answer in order for Israel to decide what can be done to make sure that the peace is held. Each Arab will have three choices to make. They can choose to live in peace and accept Israeli laws, they can decide to be bought out at a ridiculously high price and then go on their way with Israel giving them transport to any nation Israel legally flies to and they can receive acceptance or further travel to another country where they will be accepted or they can choose to war with Israel. Those choosing to be bought out, Israel should attempt to find an Arab state, which will be willing to accept these people as refugees, and Israel will pay that nation a set price per person. Finally, those who choose war against Israel will simply be deported to Jordan, Lebanon or Syria (the Sinai might be an option but why go out of our way to upset Egypt?). The ones who decide to accept Israeli law will be placed on probationary period of three years in which time any serious breach of Israeli law will lead to deportation. After this period, there should be developed a means for them to gain full citizenship, but in the meantime they will be permitted to vote in their local elections and to remain in their city or town and after the three years then there can be considerations of permitting them to move to other Arab controlled areas. Anything beyond these parameters should be considered with a jaundiced eye. Israel will take control of their education system and hopefully the older children can be deprogrammed and the youth will hopefully not be too damaged, as Israel will need to save as many of these youth as possible. With hope, eventually these Arabs will manage to either emigrate or become Israelis and contribute rather than destroy as they are doing now.
